MARIE ALICE GEORGETTE BRADSHAW With her children by her side Georgette Bradshaw (nee Desilets) passed away peacefully on May 23, 2017 at the Grace Hospital at the age of 92 years. She will be greatly missed by her children Carolyn (Phil Kendrick), Jo-Ann (Doug Brownlee) and Greg; and her grandchildren Cody, Dana and Nicole Brownlee.

They moved to Charleswood in 1957 where they built a home and raised their family, and where Georgette lived until her passing. After moving to Winnipeg from Elie, mom lived with her sister at Dalnavert Museum, which was a boarding house at the time, and worked as a legal secretary. After raising her family she returned to work as a secretary for the Imperial Oil corporate office in Winnipeg. The family would like to thank Dr. Joshua and the nurses and staff of 5 North for the care they provided mom in her last days. In accordance with her wishes, cremation has taken place.

Condolences & Memories (3 entries)

  • Now that Georgette (aka Mrs. Bradshaw) has left us for a peaceful brighter resting place, we feel saddened by the loss. Mrs. Bradshaw was one of the sweetest and friendliest neighbors we came to know. On our visits she was always interested in our welfare and always had some laughter to share with us. She would frequently wave at us if she was at her window. In previous years when she was able to go out in her yard we would stop to have a chat. Seeing her light on was always a sign that all was well. Our condolences to Greg and his sisters. Georgette was a very special lady and we were so glad to get to know her over the years. - Posted by: Bruce and Eileen McDowell (Neighbor) on: May 29, 2017

  • Dear Greg, Jo-Ann and Carol, I am sincerely saddened to hear of the loss of your mother.There’s a special place in our hearts for our mothers, just like there’s a special place in every mother’s heart for her children. You must continue to carry her memory in that special place in your heart. Mothers are guardian angels, teachers, and best friends who we are blessed with their valuable time. With deepest sympathy, Cathy - Posted by: Cathy (Family- Cousin) on: May 27, 2017
